Yada on Franklin

About us

Yada is a fun and casual place to eat, drink, and gather. We take care of everything – from this morning’s coffee to a late night craft cocktail, a breakfast sandwich to wood-fired pizzas and handcrafted pasta in the afternoon and evening.

We have the best food, drinks, and service in Clarksville, and we aren't afraid to say it. Our food is crafted with care and tuned to our neighborhood with love. Our drinks are quirky and fun.

Our service is personal and our guests love to see us every time they come in. Yada is personal for us, and we pour our whole selves into it every day. We work to build relationships with our customers and our community. We are deliberate, not fussy. We are simple and sophisticated. And above all we focus on quality.

We never give up, we apply constant gentle pressure to get things done. We expect and reward great work. Our team cares and we strive to provide a worry-free experience for our guests. Yada is our special place, a reprieve from the rest of the world.

Moral Principles

We surround ourselves with quality - we make things from the best ingredients, we sell the best products, we hire the best people, we care about what we are doing and how we are doing it. We pay attention to detail.

We are building relationships that create a strong community - we want to get to know each other, we want to work together so that we all get better, in Yada, in the downtown area, in Clarksville, and beyond.

We conduct ourselves with integrity and pride - our relationships are based on mutual respect and kindness. We take care of our business, in every sense.

We keep it clean - we have high standards of cleanliness and we are committed to keeping our house clean, front to back, top to bottom, inside and out. Cleaning is the first responsibility in everyone's job description.

Yada Service

Our service is just as amazing as our food and drinks. It is high energy, fun, friendly and engaging. It celebrates the individuality of each of our team members and allows their personalities to become part of the "magic" that is Yada service.

Our service is an exchange between team members and guests. It is about doing what is UNEXPECTED and uniquely personal for that guest in that moment and it cannot exist without customizing the experience for each guest. The Yada way means personalizing our service for every guest. It is emotional, whereas basic service is mechanical. Service is about what you DO. Hospitality is about how you ARE.
